Those attending the Inaugural Winter Series 1, made history by attending the new venues first official race this past week-end. On the site of the speedway track at the Orange Show, in San Berdoo, California.

Close racing was the rule of the day, as speedway motorcycle riders ventured nearly 100 miles from the coast of California, to plunder the Inland Empire's treasure-trove of booty and the like. Buccaneer's heard of the new track, and wanted to get a start early for the 2013 season.

In Division 1 Steve Russell didn't get the win, but received the Goody's Headache Powder award for his on track shredded gear off his clutch assembly mal-function, while comfortably leading a race...D-1 Final saw #24 Gino Manzares takes the Win, Gino cleaning house with the sweep, having won his three heats, then The Main Event. #126 Rocco Scopellite in two, #114 Troy McConnell in Three, #23 Steve Russell in four, and #174 Paul Sanborn in the fifth spot.
